Description

Manor Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been divided into two separate homes. It dates from around 1800 and incorporates an 18th-century house, with early 19th-century extensions and alterations, as well as further changes made in the 20th century. The original 18th-century section is built of red brick in English garden wall bond, while the later part features pink-cream brick in Flemish bond on the front. The extension and part of the rear wing are in English garden wall bond, with some sections in dressed stone. The roofs are slate, and there are brick stacks.

The layout follows a central-stairhall plan, being one room deep, with the earlier house located to the right. A rear service wing was added later, which has been adapted to create a second house. The main front of the farmhouse is three stories high with three windows, and there is a two-story, single-window front to the right. The main entrance features a door with six raised and fielded panels and a patterned overlight, accessed by a flight of stone steps and sheltered by a cornice porch. Above the door is a 12-pane sash window. The other windows on the ground and first floors are 16-pane sashes, while the second floor has an unequal 9-pane sash flanked by unequal 12-pane sashes. All windows have painted stone sills and painted wedge lintels, with coped gables and shaped kneelers at the ends.

The earlier front to the right has 16-pane sashes on the ground and first floors, positioned to the right of a later enlarged entrance. It features a coped gable and shaped kneeler, along with a central stack. The left return has a two-story, two-window front with a door of six raised and fielded panels and a divided overlight to the right of a 16-pane sash window with a painted stone sill, and two similar windows on the first floor. All openings have painted wedge lintels.

Inside the main house, the ground-floor doors are six raised and fielded panels set in reeded architraves with paterae. There are round arched openings with moulded imposts at the rear of the ground-floor hall and first-floor landing. The first-floor room to the left features a reeded fireplace surrounded by paterae, and the second-floor rooms at the front have basket grates. The interior of the earlier house retains plank and muntin partitions on the first floor.
